Lac du Crescent
Lac du Crescent owes its name to its "crescent" shape, the equivalent of which you will have guessed in Morvan dialect. Fed by both the Cure and Chalaux rivers, it is THE lake for carnivore anglers.
Director Michel Gondry set foot in the lake in 2015 for his film Microbe et Gasoil, a comedy about the unbridled adventures of two slightly offbeat teenagers who set off on the roads of France.
